Members don't see this ad.

if you are an adcom imagine this; you get the transcript of soemone who just graduated witha 4 year sciecne bachelor, but they are missing an english pre req, what do you make of that?

From my understanding is that its ok to apply without pre reqs as long as you end up takign them before marticulation and it wont have an effect on your application. is this true?

It is true, especially for something like English in a native speaker. Thread over.

That's not something an Adcom member will worry about. It's up to the admissions Dean to worry about it. It is up to the applicant to get the course in before he/she matriculates.

I'm really, really worried about you now

I don't bug my adcoms about this. As @Goro mentioned, we (the admissions staff) figure it out.

Yes. Why do you ask?

I ask because english at my university is insanley hard and will tank my GPA, i would perfer to take it after i submit my application so that way it wont have an impact on my GPA. However i wanted to ask applying wihtout taking a pre req wont hurt my application beofre i go on with this plan, just to be sure

You never had to take a freshman composition or writing intensive course/seminar?

im not sure what qualifies as a writing intensive course. in canada we generally call them essay courses, ive taken those (for example, a course where 60% of ur grade is from an essay and the rest the 40% is other writing assignments)

But a lot of DO schools specify English courses, or courses from the english dept


Also what do you think are the down sides with my plan if there are any? or am i good to go?

There's not more you can do unless you get feedback from admissions staff. You have posted so many disparate threads, I don't know how I can process the advantages or disadvantages of your "plan." Canadian transcripts are what they are, and I don't recall any adcoms question me about Canadian applicants lacking the English requirement.
